Tall rider

Any body any advice on leg room, seating position on B King. I'm getting one end of November. But now concerned about knee's when changing gears, brake, etc. All help will be much appreciated with any mods that can help. As she's a beauty and she's in a class of her own.

Hi there and welcome,I am also new to the B king I also have a GSX1400 and I did notice the leg room was a bit different and could fill the tank with your knees, but after a few rides you get used to it and now I just jump on and don't even thick about it and i am 6,3. You can buy foot pegs that lower your feet which i was going to do but did't bother with.

Thanks I thought as much but there so many wingers about tank problems and leg room. You start to believe the hype. But you have put my mind at ease.

You'll be so pleasantly surprised by the way these bikes ride. Even if you have been used to nimble bikes (in my case the 929 Fireblade) the B-King is such a pleasant surprise it's amazing how Suzuki got it to handle this nice.

When I rented one for the long weekend, my wife was on the back, we went into the South of the Netherlands (Limburg) with some really tight twisties and I was soo surprised how easily I could wind it round the turns, downhill with quite a lot of weight (I'm quite tall, my wife is not very heavy) and it still handle very very very well.

I am 6 ft 11 and although tall ride my king like a tuned moped.... I have gillies rear sets my knees sit nicely under the pods.... I found I had to remove the peg that sits on the side stand as it got in the way..

I bought my king brand new and didnt get a chance to ride it before i bought it. Rolled it out and come to find out my legs dont fit the king. Buell pegs saved me. Big difference
